@kitsuneshoujo for now but people are preparing a JP notes as well under Jet or something.

@FlamingYu Repair crane in her main equip, 2 AA guns (one long range or one short,fast DPS one etc) for the other 2. Her accessories can be anything, but it is best she gets a repair kit since AR are fragile and can't repair themselves and some HP-boosting accessories so she can survive longer

Btw, can Akaga drop from an A rank? Running a discount fleet does not guarantee S rank for me.

Discount fleet?

Also, I notice that JP DDs in game have a habit of dying rather quickly. Ayanami on JP is my highest level ship (lvl 20), but dies faster than anything else I have. She consistently gets knocked out, even though she's been remodeled and been fed spares several times.

Good to see Long Island got her remodel implemented on the Chinese version, specially since I just finished her alternate costume quest line. I wonder how long it will take until we get it on the Japanese version.
I will also probably be farming 3-4 soon. Hope it's better than 1-4, but I doubt it.

@firemagnet Her low HP makes every single chip add up rather quickly, not to mention if you blunder into torpedoes or cannonfire...One reason why I've shied away from most DDs in general when sortieing in favor of cruisers for now.

It's a term for using low-rarity ships in farming stuff...

And yeah IJN DD's are fragile. But generally all of them are, it is wise to level them high enough as the higher the level the better they will dodge... Or don't auto when you use them.

I typically only use DD's with HP equips and 30+ levels for that very reason. They have sky-high evasion which helps them stay alive even if the odd shell or torp manages to land. Even then, I only use them on my secondary fleets for fast torpedo spam clearing and not my main fleet (which is centered around burst damage and endurance). So... Yes, DD's have survivability issues, but with some levels and a little buff to HP, they are still very usable. Just do not expect their cannons to do much of anything of value.
